When an ancient evil threatens the galaxy, all that stands in the way is a bounty hunter with a plan… but no plan survives contact with the enemy.

Jack walks right into a trap, inadvertently giving the Predecessor Cult exactly what they want; the means to unleash a devastating new weapon. Without immediate and decisive action, death and destruction will wash across the entire galaxy, wiping out human and Tahni alike.

A threat of this magnitude cannot be thwarted by a lone bounty hunter.

From murderous cyborgs to conniving pirates, white-collar civilians to Fleet Intelligence commandos and battle-hardened marines—no one is immune to the call to arms. In the face of imminent disaster, Jack must call in every favor, exploit every connection, dig deep within himself, and fight to the bitter end.

The stage is set for one last battle, and this time, the fate of the galaxy itself is at stake.

Experience the final installment of the explosive Military Sci-Fi series from bestseller Rick Partlow, author of Drop Trooper, and debut author Pacey Holden.

I just re-read Psi Wars Book 2: Conflagration to do some research for my latest Drop Trooper book and felt a deep frustration.
It’s hard to say this without sounding egotistical, but I feel like the writing in Conflagration is the best I’ve ever done, the characters really fleshed out, and it’s a little frustrating that the series hasn’t attracted more readers.
I know that’s partly my fault because book 1, Homecoming, is a little slower and involves characters who aren’t as popular as the ones in Conflagration. Homecoming mostly deals with Sandi, Ash and Korri from the Acheron series, whereas Conflagration is much more involved with Caleb Mitchell, Deke Conner, and Kara McIntire from the Birthright series as well as Randall Munroe from the Recon series, both of which were more popular.
If I had to do it over again, I would have tried to include more of those characters in book one, but I think it was the right decision story-wise.
Perhaps the other thing that hurt sales for this series was that you had to have read the Birthright, Recon and Acheron series to understand it–sort of an Avengers deal where you needed to watch the other movies first.
Still, if you have read those other series and like Caleb, Munroe and the other characters, you really need to read Psi War. It’s an epic tale and you’re going to need to read it to know what’s going on in the next couple Drop Trooper novels… 

My collaboration with the talented author of the Great War series is out! Pirate War Book 1: Insurgency!

A war hero gone rogue. Frontier worlds threatened. Only one soldier can protect them.

Hard times make for strong men, and Antonin Murdock’s childhood was as rough as it gets. Now, he’s a Ranger, the only law for colonists seeking their fortune far from home.

Murdock’s investigation into a missing freighter takes him to Coracaesium, a world he discovers has been turned into a stronghold by brutal pirate forces. They are more organized than anything he’s seen before, equipped with advanced weaponry, and led by a tactical and strategic genius.

Sanya Baretto.

She was once one of the Fleet’s elite fighter pilots, holding the line against a ruthless alien enemy. Until the Commonwealth gave her reason to turn against it.

In her cold fury, Baretto may manage something even the entire might of the Tahni Empire couldn’t.

The destruction of the Commonwealth.

Don’t miss the start of this new Military SciFi Epic from the bestselling duo of Rick Partlow and Ralph Kern. Two legends in the genre bring you a new story filled with pulse-pounding action, realistic battles, and a soldier you can’t help but root for.
